the query of the deaf April 3

Please let it be known
that the train can rush past the city,
but not escape it.
Why do you think
news of your success
will make me want to dance,
clasp and dance and clap?
I am already saturated with good news around me.
All I can do is say congratulations,
I am happy for you.
Who is ever happy dfor anyone?
I personally keep lists,
wait for things to happen,
do not sdraw inferences,
do not weave stories.
Somehow only life on the surface is linear
all else is disjointed, broken,
fragile.
